Dear Patricia & Peter, having butted in about the COGAN family, I suddenly wondered if you were descendants of the London DEERINGs (Bishopsgate, Cripplegate, Haggerston, Shoreditch, Westminster). If so, I have a considerable amount of stuff in relation to this family and would be glad to share it. Regards, David
